A few moments later, Sticks' eyes slowly parted as what appeared to be somewhere other than Soleanna Forest. This was not the outdoor open space, instead it was a futuristic lead-lined bunker. She placed her left hand on her head, somewhere not remembering what happened before she got abushed by badniks.
"Where am I...?". The badger looked around her surroundings. Nothing but high tech on tables and walls encompassing the bunker. She notices a tall figure staring down at her from the corner of the room, no lights around that particular corner. Sticks' heart suddenly raced. Did she get abducted? Was this an ellaborate scheme to capture and tortune her? The figure moved forward, slowly dissapating the fear from the badger. Cyborg Sticks walked from the shadows and toward her.
"You were knocked out by goons. Eggman's badniks surrounded you once you crawled out of your hole".
The cyborg came closer to her counterpart, offering hand to the badger. Sticks was lifted up and watched as the cyborg took her right hand and felt it.
"What are you doing?". Sticks questioned.
"Your right hand...Something is terribly wrong".
"I don't think it was my right hand". The badger moved the hand out of her reach. Cyborg Sticks therefore explained Eggman's objective.
"Dr Eggman is behind whatever mission you took down there". She explained. "Silver, Blaze and Tikal opted you to join them in searching for an ancient Soleanna artifact only the native people of the town knows abbout".
"How do you know all of that?".
"Do I look like I have a Focus on me, despite my nature-warrior personalty like your own?!".
Sticks squinted.
"Anyway, where was I? He's planning an abush to wreck the group you know about and snatch the artifact away, hoping to sell it off for a measly $5".
"That piece of junk is worth staying at the museum where it belongs!".
"That is why I brought you here". Cyborg Sticks placed her robotic hand on a vacant table. "Eggman further buffed his tactis and his robots to inconceivable levels and it will take alot of teamwork and power to win the fight he will soon pick. But first, we have business".
"What business?". Sticks watched as she pushed a big red button, a metal door opening in a secret part of Roboken.
"Robots outside have gone haywire and started attacking the front entrance to the city. No doubt it would Eggman trying to get his robots in on the action again".
"I'm in!". Sticks pulled out her boomerang and joined her cyborg counterpart, leaving the bunker and rushing to the front entrance.
Silver had just come back from the forest, carrying the ancient artifact with him as he told Blaze he would meet her at Soleanna New City. However, he was unaware of Sticks' involment in the task, nor was he aware of the badger's abduction to Roboken. Blaze and Tikal were already in the city as they spotted the white hedgehog in the far distance. Silver spotted them and ran to the girls.
"I got the artifact!". He had it carried around with him, both hands secured on the ancient object.
"It must have been in the forest all along". Blaze answered, her effort at claiming the object with Tikal and mostly Sticks was optional. "I guess we must transport it to the museum. They should be amazed we did them a favour".
"How do you not drop it? You collected so many rings while searching for it too?". Tikal spoke to Silver.
"Nah. I levitated the rings. I don't want to drop this artifact, fearing the worst of my good deeds".
He levitated a banana from nowhere, peeling off the skin and ate it while simultaneously carrying the rings and the artifact with his telekenesis.
"Hey Silver, what do you suppose we do after we transported the history to the museum?". Blaze asked.
"We head back to Crisis City to hang out, unless some liable circumstances slipped past".
"I thought Sticks was helping us". Tikal wondered, catching the attention of Silver and Blaze. "She said she'll dig for the artifact, but she hasn't returned to us yet. Did something happen?".
"Probably...". Silver finished her question, eating the last of his banana. He threw the peel into a nearby trash can, just outside of the old town of Soleanna. It was just a matter of time before they walked into the town's museum, transporting its history to its proudful home.
